Hi Roland- this is to address a point you made --
About the posters-- well you know when a couple of big posters become MIA (missing in action) it is easy to see a slow down.
This is for everyone--
X-Savior was in an accident in about August (and has since returned but has much bigger things to deal with right now)
and in August I moved out far far away from the city and have not been able to continue my research.
Between him and I were many posts on various things...
I agree the forum has slowed down, but the fact that two often posters went MIA at one time might have made a dent.
I hope to be back into the research in about 7 months...
Until then, KEEP POSTING! :-)
